John Gillio Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Pulled this gizmo out of the river while sauger fishing. I was told that it holds carp bait used as chum. There are a lot of carp fishermen in the area. A baited hook dangles on a line from one end the other end has line to the rod and reel, so it can be cast into the body of water being fished. Can’t say I’ve seen one like this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a dough bait rig (or whatever type of bait is pressed into the cage) with multiple hooks hanging from it like an Illinois rig. There are often piles of cooked corn along this area. Maybe cooked corn is being pressed into the cage and is also being used on the hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
